Everything All Together

I draw it down from the well where it gathers
The illusion is heavy
And it takes a maverick to stand knee deep
And keep pouring
Life force in a formless void

Sitting in the waiting room
All I can see is a room full of fallen leaves
Dreaming of the tree
Saying, "I don't want to give you everything given to me"
So let's you, you, you and I do this till we die
And love each other
As if every line was a ladder
We can climb through time

I ran back to the child I was
And I saw a stranger in a jacket that you wore
And it hurt me to remember the shrinking
Of fully formed person to slim definition
But when the dark feels like it won't ever lift
That's when the sky grows pale, and the morning lives
So we just take it day by day
Because staying doesn't mean you never want to run away
It means, if ever you open your eyes
I will be there
Yeah

They used to tell their children not to stare
And now I'm picking up the slack
But my hands are slipping
So I stand on the line that goes back
To the breath before speaking

All I'm saying is
"I'm just trying to be someone
The child I used to be
Could believe in"
